Problem

crates/xtask-spellcheck/src/main.rs hardcodes six leading spaces in TYPOS_STEP_PREFIX and then searches for the typos step using contains(...) before calling strip_prefix(...).

That makes the extractor depend on the uses: line starting with exactly six leading spaces, like:

"      uses: crate-ci/typos@v"

A valid reindent of .github/workflows/main.yml can move the line to a different indentation width (for example, 8 spaces instead of 6). In that case the line still contains the hardcoded substring, but it no longer starts with it, so extraction fails with:

Could not find typos version in workflow

Steps

1. Reindent the entire jobs: subtree in .github/workflows/main.yml by two spaces. The workflow remains valid YAML, but the spellcheck action line changes from:

      uses: crate-ci/[email protected]

to:

        uses: crate-ci/[email protected]

2. Run the xtask, for example:

cargo run -p xtask-spellcheck

3. Observe that version extraction fails before typos runs.

Possible Solution(s)

No response

Notes

This issue is not end-user-facing, but it makes xtask-spellcheck fragile to harmless workflow formatting changes and can block contributors or CI maintainers from running the spellcheck xtask locally after reformatting or refactoring the workflow file.
